[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Hasn't everyone figured It out? Hilary just gave a notion the other night as tho she is definitely in for the run... No better way to go after men in general than by beating up NFL players. Baltimore is DC and call me crazy but I told my wife this last week and now we are seeing more.. Someone neeeds to write a book

The first abused kid got whooped because he pushed his brother off of a video game motorcycle. Can't imagine where he got the idea to hit someone.

 

[Quinntastic]

That was something I never could wrap my head around. Someone in my family took her son in a back room once after he and my son were rough housing and her son hit my son. Not hard - there were no marks. Just hit in the heat of the moment (her son is 4, my son is 7). Anyway, she took him in the back and gave him this huge ass whoopin, all while screaming at him, "YOU DON'T HIT PEOPLE"


Talk about mixed messages.

According to the report, Peterson then goes on to say he was disciplining his son for cursing at a sibling, though how specifically the child was wounded wasn't made clear.

Mother: "What did you hit him with?"

Peterson never directly answered, the report said, but later replied: "Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the scare (scar). He aight (all right)."

 

[Irishnuke]

Man this guy is fucking stupid.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I wonder if any of his other kids' mothers will come forward about him abusing their kids too.

 

[Bishop2b5]

Someone please give Adrian a box of condoms and explain to him how they work.

It appears AP has a problem with four year olds. How many more does he have? Better keep him away from them.

Four-year-olds can be tough. I've got one. He's a handful sometimes. I don't spank him (though I've come close) because I don't think it really works, and maybe because I wasn't raised that way. Peterson was. I have a hard time condemning him (what Rice did was far worse, IMO). I believe he thought he was doing right, though he clearly took it too far.

Either way, it's not a good look for the NFL. Increasingly obvious they can't keep the violence they celebrate on the field bottled up on the field. It leaks out in all sorts of ugly ways. I don't know where the league goes with all this.

I think this is the conversation that people are looking for the NFL to have. Instead of trying to cover it up and then looking like idiots when someone else leaks it and everyone looks to them for why they didn't act sooner, they need to set some serious consequences for these guys and actually stick to them - regardless of what it will mean for the teams affected in terms of wins/losses.

I have to wonder if AP knew that his career would effectively be over if it was found out that his discipline towards his child left physical scars on him of any kind, he would have thought twice and possibly dialed it back...but this whole wishy-washy "maybe we'll punish you, maybe we won't" attitude is bull.

That commissioner needs to go.

Why is it that we don't hear about hockey players knocking out their wives or bloodying their children? I'm not trying to invalidate your point, just legitimately wondering what the difference is.

The same reason Joe Snuffy isn't plastered on the TV when he drinks one too many Stroh's and slaps Buelah after a particularly crushing Vols loss. Nobody outside of the parties involved cares.

The NFL is huge, and ESPN has done everything in its power since the 94 lockout to relegate hockey to niche sport status, killing the fan base.

AP deserves a months worth of reporting because the story appeals to people all over, a hockey player getting charged with abuse appeals to Sully from Worcester, and maybe a few other puck heads, but that's it.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I think it has to do with a lot of foreigners as well. They don't all live here during the off-season, which is prime arrest time.

Well, if her name was Charity and she brought along her friends Amber and Bambi, seems appropriate.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

This guy is garbage.

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

That wasnt a sex party.

But if it was they did it wrong.

 

[Bishop2b5]

"I'm having a sex party with you and 3 other girls, paying for it from my charity's funds, cheating on my fiancé, and have children with 3 or 4 other women... but hey, don't judge me."

And to think I used to admire this dude and thought he was a good guy.

Same, it's really a shame...

How can u punish a guy for smoking weed during a stressful time?

Thats pretty much when you should be smoking

This is just a sad story all around. Another hero comes crashing down.

Why do you have to take a drug test when out on bond? You haven't been convicted of anything. I get drug testing people on parole, but this one seems odd to me. Especially since it has nothing to do with the case against him.

THIS, seemed odd as well

I felt the same way when I read "Sweetness: The Enigmatic Life Of Walter Payton." Heroes aren't always all they're cracked up to be.

Was it an NFL drug test or a police drop test. And I've known of people that were tested randomly while out on bond awaiting trial. Especially if they dropped dirty when arrested. Not that he did, but we don't know he didn't.

Hmm, I guess it's a good thing I don't know what it's like to be out on bond, but I always assumed it was basically like living as a free man as long as you paid and made your court dates until the case was closed.

As for who administered the test, I believe it was the police or the court and not the NFL.
